We rejoice with you in the joy you are expressing and we thank God that you are giving glory to the blood of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have favor, life, and victory. We join you in praising God for His goodness to you, your mom, your three children, their spouses, and even your pets, and we bring all of these blessings before the Lord together.
We want to gently and lovingly bring some correction where your words reflect ideas that are not biblical, because we want your joy to be rooted in truth that will last. You speak of speaking life into existence one hundred fold, making life what you make of it, having the universe meet your needs, and making wishes and dreams come true. Scripture teaches that it is God alone who speaks things into existence, not us. We do not manifest our own reality by our words, but we humbly submit to the will of our Father. We read in Romans 4:17 that it is God who gives life to the dead and calls the things that are not, as though they were. Our role is to trust and obey Him, not to declare our own universe. We also do not pray to the universe, we pray to God Almighty, our Creator and Father, through Jesus Christ alone. You mentioned God Almighty and the blood of Jesus and we praise God for that, for Jesus said in John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in Acts 4:12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
We also want to encourage you that true favor is not just a feeling or a declaration, but being accepted in Christ and walking in His ways. Ephesians 1:6 says He made us accepted in the Beloved. Psalm 5:12 says For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. That favor grows as we delight ourselves in the Lord, and He then shapes our desires to match His perfect will. Psalm 37:4 says Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. This is not that every wish comes true on demand, but that when our hearts are aligned with Him, our desires become what He desires for us, which is far better. James 4:3 reminds us You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. So we encourage you to bring your heart's desires, your communication, your needs, your dreams of marriage and home, and lay them before God and trust His answer, whether yes, no, or wait.
We love your heart for your family and we agree that God has good marriages arranged, for He calls marriage a good thing. Proverbs 18:22 says Whosoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh. We believe marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman designed to honor God, and we pray that you and your children will pursue courtship with that goal, seeking godly spouses who are believers in Jesus Christ, keeping yourselves pure and honoring God with your bodies, for any sexual intimacy outside of marriage is fornication and does not reflect God's design. We pray that each marriage in your family will be Christ centered, faithful, and filled with peace and harmony.
We also understand your desire for privacy when you say your lives are personal and secret and permanent, and while God does call us to guard our hearts and live peacefully, He also calls us to walk in the light and in community with other believers, not in hiddenness that isolates us. 1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. We pray you will find safety and joy in open fellowship with God and His people.
We lift you up now in prayer together.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we thank You for this dear one and her family, for her mom, her three children, their spouses, and even the pets You have entrusted to them. We thank You for the blood of Jesus that makes all things new and that has indeed made victory secure for those who are in Christ. We ask that You cover this family with Your favor, Your protection, and Your peace that surpasses all understanding as promised in Philippians 4:7. We pray You would heal communication greatly, meet every true need according to Your riches in glory in Philippians 4:19, and grant health inside and out. We pray for godly, lifelong marriages for this family that honor You, that each spouse would be a faithful believer walking with You. We pray for the pets to be safe and cared for as part of Your creation. Lord, align every wish and dream with Your perfect will, for we know in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. Teach us all to trust not in our own power to speak things into being, but to trust in You with all our hearts as Proverbs 3:5-6 says Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Let this joy that is expressed as woohoo and yay continue as a deep, abiding joy rooted in Christ, not in circumstances. We declare that their lives are in Your hands, and we ask for Your will to be done. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
